Al! things from the hands of the great Antbor of nature are good and right, and Mall only per verts them .frotn..their. destined purposes, and breeds front his adoleseency m.a.t.urity .all.the ...., • ~. afflictions of civilized life. The world has never been in a state of inno' cence since it began to traiie itt its productions. it has grown more and more wicked since com merce has engross, d ti,e span of human existence, and the deceiis of fraud have flourished,, to the loss of Liberty, and often of life. The farther men hive gone from a pastoral, state, the more corrupt have ben their murals, and their stru t :- 'gles for more have generated discoid, to the dis traction of individuals. Trade and•mannfactures have brought in riches. These • have produced prider and ambition, luxury and idleness, the pa rent of crimes, in contempt of the Likv, though assisted by religion, such are the ways of men in the search. alter perishable objects, that neither the laws, divine or human, are able to repress their transgression. Yet the Legisl.dtore keeps race with the malefactor, and as the one improves in givit the other enacts punishment for ptevention. • Every thing ct iminal results from the force of present temptation, and th e wea k ness o f t h e w ill to resist it. It originates irr a want of a virtuous education. Poverty and t- i 1 exatuple, misery and the slavery of vagrant liberty, tinder which vice is mistahen for virtue, crime for merit, arid the means to commit it ingenuity, leads to evil ; deeds of injustice are. deemed inoffensive, and criminals deprecate and .censure nothing but the law that inflicts their ponishnp.ot. Compune:ion they have•none, and fir.tittance at a gallows' comes too late!' • . To prevent crimes tA human institution, or di minish their gilantity, to soften the ferocity of adults svhoiare accomplished in the arts of felons', .and snatch youth from their walks in wretched ness, thence directing the law to their reformation rather than punisliinent, sum:lilting more is i•e cpired- than the building. ist new Churches, which may ease the duty of paroehi Clergynien, and increase their profits. These the people or cti minal habits ss ill »ut attend. Public schools should be erected in the parishes for the instruc tion of the young in common but useful lear.ning, even through a life of industrious !about, and to open their minds for the delights of virtue and the detestation of vice. •As the third King of all Israel in his wisdom said, " Train there up in the way they should go. and when th e y grow old, they Will not depart trout it ;" but left to themsel7es, parentless and hieudless, destitute and helpless, they will wander into evil for bread, until they are taught and finished in it by old prac• titioners. In Scotland an early tuition of what is triorAlly right leads to an avoidance of what is morally wrong, and few forget the one so as to follow the other. It is the same in Holland. So atnong the Protestant lissenters few arc found in she class of delinquents who pay their tot kit life. Rare also are the instances among men of learn ing, good breeding and family, who criminally offend as felons. it is the lim., the deserted, and distressed, the paren:les, friendless, in the Itver Order of people, who are sacrificed as Victimi to justice. These are object; of our compassion . , a lid if they had the benefit of early cultivation, not one in ten Awould be brought before a criminal tribunal. To the•honour of ihe nation, however, means are take!) on the Laucasterian plan for schools, and by penirenriary confinement, to blunt the sword of criminal retribution, which no increase of our' established churches is so likely to t &et.. This ,is opinion, and the re ;Sons are premised ; every thing is running on . and im proving in one common error, and nothing will put an etici to it hot . a recurrence to first prin ciples, for the general good without diatinction or pat Gant CON.S'fati'f I N E.

SOLE:11 QUI4 DICEIRE FA Ls ir Arl I)EAT LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1815. We received last night the Paris Papers of Fri day last, and this morning those of Saturday. The Moniteur of Friday contains a loyal Ordonpance, directing the rebuilding of the theatre of l'Odeon. The Chamber of Peptic', on Thursday, conti- lined the deliberation on the articles of the Cus toms Projet. An amendment proposed by M. de la BOULAY E, for allowing the transit of colonial produce through Alsace, was negatived, 101 to 96. Friday the diseusion was concluded, and the Projet adopted, 164 to It. The Chamber then proceeded to take into consideration the Projet for the abolition of ti►e Slave Trade, tc hen no Member presenting biatielf to speak upon it, the 'vote.; were taken, and the Projet was idoptcd, 117 to 19. We give. extracts in another column from the Journals of : ' Friday. They state:that the departure of the Duke of WELLINGTON f111;111 Paris is post poned till the 15th of next month. The . foilowing are extracts from the Paper; of Saturday PAnfs;` 11'"n'tfcH'28.--Yesterday morning the Doke (le Richelieu, the-Duke de Fernand Nunez, the Sp3nish A inbasstulor, and the Baron Mounier, Councillor of State, President of the Mixed Com - - mission forPoreign Claims, hail successively con ftrences with she Duke of Wellington.

"%MARSEILLES, MARCH 18.—A frigate and a corvette-Which are equipping at Genoa, are, it is said, to sail for the Barbary coast. -" IS, mlwaGn, MARCH 17.—The Duke of Cambridge returned yesterday from Cassel. It is understood that his - Royal Highness's marriage will not take iilace. till May. The pressure of various articles prevents our aiaking our remarks on the Letters which we gave yesterday, from our intelligent Correspondent at Paris, p►rticularly. as a•e now insert another that we received this day. Indeed as he is placed with in the vortex of action., and is acute, judicious, a n(1 candid, it %you'd be SOISIC what presumptuot►s i►t us to distrust his information or dispute his de ductions. However, there are points on which Ive shall ve►iture to avow 'our own opinions, and which are of interest to E.urope in general. CITY, Ott; o'CLoct(.—Consols have been rising the-last few days from 78 to 78 1 1, at which price they have been currently clone this morning ; but an eminent Broker supplied the Commissioners with the whole of their Stock at 78,1, ‘vhich made the market rat her worse. At the above hour they were about 7g. This morning a e received New Orleans Pa pers to the Uth of February, but they contdio no news of any importance. The PRINCE REGENT was better yesterday, an d gave audiences to the Loan , CHANCELLO R and Count MuNsTv.E. The Dukes of YORK. alit! CUM!. BERLAND vir,ited his Royal Highness. On Friday Mr. MEuLEE, a Hanoverian .Mes senger, arrived in London, with dispatches f" ) ,„ the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, it:tterS to the -Royal Family, &c. Yesterday the Royal Family t , gd i n teceived letters from his Royal Highness. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of GLOLI.C.ES TER had a party to dinner. Yesterday, about one o'clock, the Prince of HEssE HomuEEG felt town for Qatlands, on a vi s .it to the Duchess of YORK. His Serene High ness dined wi;h the Duchess, and was expected in town last night. There will be a grand Ball at St. John's House, Winchester, on Tuesday the ith of April, in honour of the marriage of the Princess ELIZABETH with the Prince of HEssE HomEEEG. The money arising from the Tickets is to he 'applied in aid of the Lying-in Charity in that City. A circumstance of great importance is confi dently asserted in Paris ; namely, that the amount of the liquidation claims on France were defini tively settled by the Ministers of the great Allied Powers, in the presence of the Duke of WEL LINGTON, on Tuesday the 24th. It is added, this intelligence will be officially communicated to the Chamber in the beginning of the ensuing Week. Madame Fouctm, Duchess of OTRANTO, has eloped trout Prague.- She was carried off by the sou of the conventionalist THIBADEAU. The,two fugitives are travelling in Get many ; they were last seen at Frankfurt, at a concert, where !he new Helen attracted attention by the beauty or her jewels. All the Nobility of St. Germains are in an uproar. Madame de D-- is especially in a violent rage against Madame Foucne, of the house of CASTELLANE. The first stone of the Wellington Midge, near L ee d s , was kid (luring the last week, by B. GOTT, Esq. The Bridge is to be of one arch, from a design by that eminent individual, JOHN RENNIB, bsq. F. R. S. PRIVArr AND _kUTIIF,NTIC CORRESPONDENt,E. PAttis, Mattcn2B„—l have collected .so m s... far iher rritlrentic facts relative Jo the affair of Au - alet.ON, which I bitten to cominnaicate to : you they completely bearoutall i apprized you of, relative. to the spirit a I'arty%whit h animated both the witnesses and the ju mp. The Prefect of the Gard was extremely zealous in furthering the ends of justice, and discovering the truth. Ile had obtained, from two ivitneSses for the prosecution, Very irtiportant revelations, and being called upon to give evidence on the trial, in virtue of the discre tionary power of the President, be had the lie di rect most impudently given to him by these same witnesses ; one of whom is of the National Guard at Nismcs, and the other one of the Of ficers of that corps- Thus, two men, bound by the ties .of honour as GeOtlemen, their duty as Citizens and as Christians, the homage they owed to truth anti the sacred amine of an oath, as well as their public d u ty as Of honoured with the King's commission, to 'declare all they knew before the Court, blushed not to per jure themselves, nod in a manner too apparent to every one ; thus sacrificing at once honour, duty, truth, and virtue, on the altar of party spirit.— I forget whether I stated to you that AuItILLON'S brother was strongly suspected of being the in stigator of the crime. This individual occupied the place of Receiver of the Department of the Basses Alpes ; he was not ignorant of the rumours circulated to his preindice, and -a few (lays after the acquittal of AuatLLON he went to a person of rank of the Department of the Gard . , and endea voured to prove to him his innocence by different arguments, to do away the suspicion which we4;ited upon hint ; lie concluded by loin a letter written by AURILLON to his sister (the Receiver's wife). In this letter AURILLON says be is in the deepest d es p a i r ; h e s p ea k s o f his remorse, and confesses that he has dishonoured his family, &c., but in it he says nothing which can either inculpate or completely justify his brother-in-law. This complicity, therefore, of the brother-in-law is not either proved or . disprov ed ; but as to AURILLON, we have his vet bat and his written confession of his guilt ; lie was known even to be guilty by those who procured his ac quittal, and who acquitted him ;Intr, say they, "he has sufficiently . expiated his ch u te by his featsof arms and his Royslism."—Ou these grounds was the sacred fountain of justice polluted ;, but the pollution extended not beyond the walls of the Court. The public indignation is general, and the Jury, in oheyiri,7 the orders gicen them, have returned with the accusation of pet:jury on their heads, which, with the public, contempt, they will bear with them till the period, 4vhen they themselves shall be judged inflexibly just and terribly severe. Justice compels us .here to remark, that the members of the Tribunal, although they are ail Etageres, were disgusted and ashamed at the acquittal of Au tteeoN. This flagrant in stance of audacious perjury has also opened the eyes of the Ultras, in whom the spirit of Party had not extinguished every sentiment of honour and probity, and in whose eyes crime does not cease to be crime, whatever way he the political opinions of the criminal. One of the intrigues employed by the defenders of AtritlLLoN was, to announce that he would abjure the Protestant to embrace the Roman Catholic religion. It appears that this promise, which there is no appiarikrlCC of being carried into effect, procured Au anLON the support of several members of the Clergy. W e are sure there is not a Protestant in existence who will not wish them joy in the acquisition of such a convert ; but, indeed, conversions to that faith are so rare, that even a parricide is mot to be de spised. A cause is going- to be judged at Nismes, which prepares for the Public a new subject of scandal : One Rot., surnamed The Officer, during the trou bles of ISIS belonged to a band of assassins, who committed every sort of execs" ; the fact was of public notoriety ;- he was arrested, charged with the murder of two women at Nisnies• was tried at Valence, and was acquitted ; but there being another charge of murder against..tu tu, lie has been transferred to the prison of Nismes, and will in a few days be judged by the Court of As sizes of that town. It may be an act of temerity to anticipate the verdict of 'a jury, and a still greater temerity to declare a belief that the .ver- dict will be directly contrary to evidence. Time is no doubt of the guilt of RoL, and there is scarcely any as to hi 3 being acquitted, like Au- IZILLON j the spirit of Patty will play the princi pal character in it, and already it attempts to pave . theway in the public opinion fur his acquittal. They say he is such a good Royalist, and such an enemy o BUONAVARTU, that it would be a pity he . should ).se his head on the scaffold, and that no (10111)1 these two escapes vill I►e a warning for.hita to behave !niter ia future. Many persons of great yetid influence task thus, and even Mac Procu— Rol. feels a gentl e sympathy f o r this intee criminal, y •• The South f ern Departmcnti of P r ance tunately offer at this moment but too 0, 0 1 these E xantpl6 of the abkriations of the .si n i d Party.‘ When the Judges*, ts'bd are it, only sparethe tile of a Crithinai the el ill % l so great; but when they send the innocen t li c scaffold humanity shudders. 'These • have been suggested by a recent sentence : 0 i Cburt . of Assizes of Carpentras, which c ondt ° i to death one FRANCOIS LAMI, of M t the crime imputed to I.,Alut is that of havingi l) ) fired at an inditiclual.
